Exporting simple box with vertex coloring shows as white or grey

by Ahmed@ · in Artist Corner · 03/19/2005 (6:03 am) · 5 replies

Hi I'm having a problem when exporting a simple box which has vertex colors. The steps i follow are:
create the box, apply edit mesh and change hte vertex colors in Surface properties.
When i export this model to ShowTool i see a grey model and when lights off is white.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm wondering the same thing. I haven't found any documentation saying if its supported by the engine.

Did you manage to figure this out Andrew? I used materials everywhere but now i have some characters that i need to use (without having to modify them) and wonder if there is a solution for this.

Thanks

The dts format doesn't support material or vertex colors as far as I know.

@ Portalguy

No, from what I found, vertex coloring has to be added to the engine code and its not something thats supported thru DTS by default
